AN EXAMPLE NEEDED.

There have been too many unprovoked as
saults upon citizens by police officers In this
city lately. All of them have been brutal and
ferOcious During the present month half
dozen Innocent and inoflensive people have
been dubbed about the head savagely. Yet so
far as is known not one of the officers commit
ting these outragcs has been punished. Now
this state of things cannot be tolerated. There
is no excuse for such occurrences, and it - per-
fectly clear that they would not happen were
they properly dealt with. In every one of the
cases referred to. the magistrates before whom
the facts were inquired INTO have declared The
assaults unprovoked and most of them have
recommended that charges be preferred against
the officers. Blu it is notorious that poor men.
as nearly all the victims are, shrink from
making complaints against the police, or from
putting themselves forward in any way which
may subject them to the enmity of those
having political influence. Tho consequence
generally il that the officers who have COM
mitted these assaults get off scOt-free, and the
impunity with which such rullians are permit
ted to indulge their brutal prupensities Of
course encourages others to initiate them.
No doubt the Police Commissioners have to
listen to many ill-founded complaints ,ainst
officers, and their experience naturally inclines
| them to suspect all such cases of being attempts
at revenge by "tOugEs.' But none of the recent
police assaults can be put in that category. All
of them were attacks upon peaceable persons
who were in no sense disordery. IL cannot
therefore be too strongly insisted that examples
should be made. An officer who gets drunk on
his post and runs amuck with his club, ought
not to be mildly disciplined. He ought to be
punished more severely than the ordinary cit-
zen who commits an outrageous assault. Such
policeman should be discharged from the
| force Us a matter of course, and then he should
| be tried in criminal court for the assault No
| bully or ruflian should be allowed to remain Ia
the ranks of the police. No man who will use
the club without justification can be safe
guardian of the law. 1t has become necessary
to speak plainly about this matter, for the
abuse is growing and it has already had shock
ing results. 1t is TO be hoped that the last po-
lice outrage, namely the wanton and savage
assault upon the young Englishman Gri.nond,
at the Staten Island Ferry landing, will be
prosecuted vigorously, and it is most certainly
the duty Of the Police Commissioners to look
into all such cases more strictly, and to deal
with the peccapt officers more severely, than
they appear to have been doing recently The
public have right to be protected oven again st
their nominal guardians.

TO THE MAJORITY AT ALBAYY.

The time that remains of this session is short.
Keep it clean. The record which the Repub-
licans have made to date is one on which 5ney
can confidently go before the people in Noyem-
Der. The Appropriation bill, the great fiscal
measure of the year, was drawn so carefully
that Governor Hill was unable to find o single
item to veto-a notable circumstance. The
Crosby bill met the best expectations of the
wisest and most experienced reiormers IN the
State. If the Governor had not killed it, it
would have done much for the advancement OF
morality by placing a decided check upon the
rum power. The leading canal bill providing
for increasing the lockage capacity of the Erie
and for improving the Oswego and Champan
canals is most gratifying to the great com
mercial interests of the State. And so with the
general course of legislation. While mistakes
have undoubtedly been made, some bills
slippng through which ought to have been
thrown ont. the outcome on the whole has been
of an excellent character.
But there is still time enough to spoil this
creditable record. AS the end of the session
approaches the lobby grows desperate, members
become tired, and the jobs show themselves.
Therefore there is special need that our Repub-
lican lawmakers be more than ordinarily vigil
liant. The member who has the courage to say
Z" Mr.. Speaker, / object now has his oppor =
tunlty, and can often do the people great SER
vice. The minority have had little reputation
to lose, since they showed themselves the abb
iect tools of tho rum power by voting solidly
against the Crosby bill. SO no help can be ex-
pected from them in the effort looking to the
defeat of unwhOlesome measures. They can be
counted upon to do their best to promote any
schemes no matter how bazy, from which q
partisan advantage Is to be gained, just as
they can be counted upon to fight the Vedder
bill and the majority report IN regard to the
Brooklyn ring and related measures which
conserve the public welfare.
We feel assured that our appeal to the re-
sponsibe majority will not be made IN vain.
Let no mistake be made in the concluding days
of the session of 1887

BJSu1RCRS STATE SECRET.

Prince Bismarck has reafiirmed through the
official press the correctness of his recent dis
closure of a secret treaty between Russia and
Austria. 1t had been Immediately CONTRA
dcted in Pesth and vienna by leading journals,
but the emphasis with which the facts are re-
asserted leaves no room for doubt that the
occupation of Bosnia and the Herzegovina was
the outcome of dynastIc bargain. The COM
pact was made on January Is, 1877, about
four months before the Russian troops crossed
the Pruth. At the close of the war. after
danger of hostilities between Russia and Eng
land had passed, Germany summoned the Con-
gress of Berlin but this action was taken at
the direct request of Count Schouvalof after
it had become known that all the Powers would
accept the invitation. Prince Bismarck's organ
declines to enter into controversy as to
whether the idea of the congress originated at
Vienna or st. Petersburg; but it stOutly main
tains that Germany was not responsible for the
council nor for the cessiOn of Bosnia and the
Herzegovina to Austria. The Pan-Slavist
press of Moscow and st. Petersburg has been
accusing Prince Bismarck of being the chief
agent of Russias diplomatic defeats and dis
asters. He has grown weary of msrepresenta-
ton and abuse and has told this State secret In
order to demonstrate that Russia herself place
Austria Cd guardin the Balkan aud thus created
formidable rival for supremacy in the East.
This revelation, while exceedingly useful for
the German Chancelor's purpose, is very awk-
ward for the Austrian Government. The En-
peror Francis Joseph may be Indifferent to it.
since he loves power for It's own sake and does
not dislike TO have his subjects know that he
has his own way whenever the rival races of
the Dual Monarchy are pulling In opposite di-
rectons. But for the Minister of Foreign At
fairs who has to reconcile the two delegations,
and for the Hungarian Premier, who has to
govern with the aid OF a majority swayed by a
fierce feeling of hatred for everything Russian,
this disclosure of a partition treaty is most
harasslng and vexatiOus. Bosnia and the Her
zegovna were not obtained by the decree Of
Europe, as has always been supposed, but as
the result of secret intrigue with Russia.
The Slav provinces were put up at auction and
sold to Austria montns before Pievna was
fought or the san Stefano convention signed.
That is q revelation which fills the Magyar mind
with dismay and fury. Hungary was IN revolt
against the Bosnian occupation even when Il
European Congress was supposed to be the al
moDer of diplo mario bounty. With what frenzy
will the extension of the Slav Empire now be
denounced when it is known that Russia offered

MR. RE1GAY REBELS dGAIM

II is fortunate that Mr.. Reagan Is not the Ma
toms only lawmaker. His notion Of the Inter-
state law, Just published in letter to Commits
sioner Morrison is clearly that which governed
majority Of the members of the House so much
may be conceded. But it is equally obvious
that it is not the Interpretation which governed
the majority in the Senate. The meaning given
to the act by one body has precisely as much
weight, in fixing its proper construction, as the
meaning given to it by the other. Many times
1HE TRIBUNE has called attention to this rad-
cal difference of understanding between the
two houses. and has shown that it renders the
task of interpreting the law more difficult.
Mr. Reagan holds in his letter that tho Com
mission has no power at all to suspend the
fourth section, but only power, in special cases
of injustice, to authorize the roads to charge
less Tor long than for short hauls. The rule,
he holds, was intended to be irOnclad and " it
was never suggested" that the Commission
would have power to suspend the section, and
adopt instead the exception for the rulc.n In
answer to the plea that competition with water
routes makes necessary the suspension of the
rule in many cases, Mr.. Reagan urges that rail-
roads if allowed to take through freight freely
at such rates as they please, can break down
water routes entirely; that no government
on earth would dare to pass law to prevent
the carriage OF its commerce on the natural
waterways, and yet that is what in substance
your Commission is asked TO do by the railway
companies" This is a boder Interpretation of
the act than any one else has yet given it, and
an Interpretation which makes the only acts of
the Commission thus far directly hostile to the
chief intent of the act. Mr.. Reagan is not the
Congress of the United States, it is good to
remember. Yet he does correctly represent the
intention of a majority of the men who framed
this extraordinary act.
In like manner Mr.. Reagan insists that the
fourth section should not be suspended IN order
to enable United States roads to compete with
roads OF Canada, and his reason here is that if
railroads are allowed in any case to make dis
ordinations in favor of sundry shippers, that
"wIll leave 10 the railroads all their power of
terrorizing and intimIdating the people, and
thus enable them to prevent damage suits or
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1887-05-17

criminal prosecutions" If it were not unpar-
liamentary, it might be said that Mr.. Reagan
talks nonsense. The power todiscriminafe De-
tween different shippers to or from the same
point on the same line has nothing to do with
the power to fix lower rates at points wnere
Canadian lines compete than at other less as
tant points. But again it must be admitted
that his unreason faithfully reflects the unreal
son of most of the men who supported this
measure.
Happily the smaller number of men in the
Senate represent the people as truly. and nave
lust as much night to claim regard for their
understanding of the act, as the larger number
of men in the House. Ali the world knows
that the bill, construed as Mr.. Reagan now con-
strues it, never could have passed che Senate.
But 1t is possible TO believe that the bill, con-
strued as the Senate did cons6rue it, passed the
House as the nearest attainable approach to Its
wishes That is the truth. and the law ought
to be interpreted as meaning those things to
which tine two Houses both assented, and not
those things which one House only desired.
Mr. Reagan is trying to bully the Commission
and the country ilto a construction OF the act
which was distinctly rejected and defeated In
Congress In order to get the bill passed at all,
he and other members of the House then con-
sented to pass it in form which admitted the
Senates construction of its intent. by that
construction, the only one to which both
Houses assented he is therefore bound, and Ia
rebelling against his own law, as modified IN
Congress, he only sticking to his record as
rebel against laws of the United States.

OF the numerous labor troubles refer rcd to
in THE TRIBUNE's dispatches this morning,
there is not one, probably, which might not
have been avoided. The business Of the master
builders lockout in Chicago is admitted even
by some of the discharged employees while the
trouble in the brckyards along the Hudson
is entirely due to the uncallcd-for interference
of walking delegates from New-York City.

possibly they were entitled to. But strike
was not the remedy. Arbitration was the PLAIN
cure for all these troubles.
